                ❝ don’t worry, molly, i can assure you that he didn’t mean that.                                                                         you know how he is. ❞

     an insuffrable dick, and insensitive up to plain rude, a genious that was so thick.      no need to voice that, though, because they both knew him, they all did. sherlock      didn’t see the line, between deduction and humiliation, between friend and subject,      and that could be a major problem when dealing with people.

6:Eating habits and sample daily menuIf he remembers to eat at all, its usually at John’s prodding. He’ll usually accept a piece of toast with his morning tea, its extremely rare that Sherlock will ever eat lunch, and dinner is almost entirely up to John’s discretion unless Sherlock is in the mood for something enough to bother mentioning it.

12:Favorite book genre?Surprisingly enough, not mystery novels. He finds them incredibly tedious to read and is yet to find an ending that wasn’t painfully obvious by the end of the first chapter. Sherlock enjoys factual books about abnormal phenomenon and strangely enough, he finds himself often getting absorbed in fantasy novels, though not as much sci fi

18:Favorite beverage?John’s tea. Nobody else makes it quite like him although his mother comes close. (If pressed though, he secretly loves juice)

19:What do they think about before falling asleep at night?Since he passes out during a myriad of activities, there is no real one answer to this, and as his brain immediately picks up a train of thought upon waking, he would be hard pressed to tell you himself

22:Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?It depends on how bored/frustrated he is. If he’s calm, he paper will likely have every square inch of it covered in something before he begins folding it into all sorts of shapes. If he’s upset or agitated, there will be confetti and a pencil stabbed in either the wall or ceiling

28:Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?John, always John. And although he may say differently, Mycroft is not his mortal enemy, and that spot will always stay open for Moriarty (much to Sherlock’s distaste as he doesn’t want to give him the satisfaction of that place)

31:Most prized possession?Sherlock’s most prized possession is probably his violin. Its a proper Stradivarius, Mycroft had bought it for him just before he left for school.

33:Concept of home and family?At one point, it had been Mycroft pure and simple. But then Mycroft left, and Sherlock didn’t understand what he’d done or how to fix it and no one would explain it to him. He soon convinced himself that he didn’t need anyone or anything until he met John.

35:What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?Dancing. He’s always loved it, but it has no place in his life and it can’t

41:Hobbies?Crime solving, Experiments, Chemistry, Forensics, Deduction

45:Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?Deeds, definitely. He’s had meaningless words spouted at him all his life and he knows actions are the only real proof.

Send me a ✢ for my muse's reaction to seeing yours standing on their doorstep soaking wet in the rain.

It was soft–a gentle, polite knock upon the door. If Sherlock was anyone else, he would have missed it, mistook it as the old building shifting under the weight of all the rain. He wasn’t someone else though: he was Sherlock Holmes and he missed nothing.

Scowling, he ignored it. He didn’t care who it was, he wasn’t going to get up and answer the door at this time of night.

Then, it came again.

“Oh for heaven’s sake!” He grumbled, jerking from his comfortable sprawl and stomping down the stairs and violently flipping the lock, jerking the door open, ready to snap at whomever it was…

–only to stop, pausing and reboot.

Sherlock was not expecting Molly to be at his door.

§ = The character’s most common sleeping position?Sprawled over something, be it the couch, his arm chair, the kitchen table, a microscope or on rare occasions, his bed.

∞ = What does the character usually wear to bed?When he actually goes to bed? Plain cotton pyjama pants and if its cold a t-shirt, otherwise whatever he falls asleep in

♔ = What size bed do they sleep on?King size of course, the man has a mind palace.

@ = Soft or hard mattress?His mattress is soft,

♥ = Do they prefer to sleep alone? With a partner/stuffed companion?He’ll never admit it, but Sherlock loves sleeping with someone/thing because sprawling on an empty bed is not as comfortable as sprawling over someone (unfortunately he’s learned to go without)

ツ = Does the character steal the covers or has the covers stolen off them?Sherlock will only steal the covers if they’re stolen first

☠ = Character’s worst nightmare?The worst that he’s had would have to be straight after the incident at the pool. He saw so many variations of John being shot, of the whole place going up in a fireball while John looks on begging for help, of the place exploding as John pushes Sherlock into the pool and uses himself as a shield...

☂ = Has the character ever had a wet dream?Of course, his body needs to find release when Sherlock’s unwilling due to a case or experiment.

回 = The weirdest dream the character has experienced?Once when he was away, he dreamed that he came back to 221B to find John having a tea party with Moriarty and Mycroft. Mycroft was wearing a ridiculous giant hat, and Moriarty welcomed him in as John asked if he’d picked up the milk while he was gone.

☾ = What time does the character usually sleep/wake up?Sherlock doesn’t exactly have a usual sleep pattern even when there’s no case on

ϟ = Are they a light or heavy sleeper? Can they sleep through a lot of noise?Once he’s asleep, Sherlock can sleep through anything, though thats usually because his body has completely given up. Otherwise he’s a very light sleeper.

Ω = Has the character ever sleep walked before?No, his body is too exhausted to do anything once he’s asleep, although if he ever managed to find a regular sleeping pattern, I could almost see it happening (as if he were trying to continue to do things when his body has told him he needs to stop)
